BELLATOR 133 MEDICAL SUSPENSIONS AND FIGHTER PAYOUTS

Bellator 133 put on an action packed show last Friday night that took place last Friday night from The Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. Now that the lights are out and crowd has gone home it time to assess the damage and see what the fighters took to the bank. The California State Athletic Commission has now released a full list of medical suspensions and fighter pay-outs from the event that night.

In the main event Alexander Schlemenko went straight to work on Melvin Manhoef, early in the second round Schlemenko delivered Manhoef a spinning back fist that sent him tumbling to the mat. After a few quick punches that was all that John McCarthy needed to see to put an end to this fight. However, both fighters have now received hefty medical suspensions and are facing up to 6 months on sidelines.

Julia Budd grinded out a decision win over Gabrielle Holloway, but she was the one who will have a lot down time, Budd was a handed down 180 days from the athletic commission for a fracture to right big toe/foot.

As we take a look at the salaries we can’t say anyone walked out rich. The biggest earner of the night was Daniel Weichel who took a cool $32,000 to the bank with his win over Pat Curran. Even though Schlemenko and Manhoef were the main attraction of the evening they only walked away with under 20 grand a piece.

As always fighter these are the purses reported by state athletic commissions and they do not include any performance-based or discretionary bonuses that may be awarded to a fighter by the promotion. Additionally, the reported figures does not reflect any deductions made by the commission for taxes, insurance, etc., and do not include any sponsorship money that a fighter may acquire for their performance. Medical suspensions are a precautionary measure; ultimately it is up to the doctor to clear them to fight again. The full list of Medical suspensions and fighter pay is listed below.
